Server Infrastructure Roles in MDM

2/9/2009

System Center Mobile Device Manager uses role-based access control. Unlike an authentication system that specifies who a user is, role-based access is an authorization system that specifies what a user is authorized to access and what tasks that person can perform.

The following shows the server infrastructure roles:

DeviceManagementServers

EnrollmentServers

SelfService

These roles are represented through MDM infrastructure groups that the Active Directory Configuration Tool (ADConfig) creates. For more information about these groups, see ADConfig Tool.
